ONLY THE DARING

Welcome to ONLY THE DARING, a space created to help you see your truth, value it and become it.

I never knew what I wanted to be but I wanted it to be something great, something meaningful. I wanted my life to become something so big and beautiful that I'd have something to prove that I was getting it right.

But the more I listen within and allow truth to be seen and accepted, I realise there was never anything outside of me I could have created that would allow this feeling now, this understanding. That we are born enough. And the moment that makes sense, the moment it holds us, is the moment we find nothing but trust.

Trust that we can't go wrong. Trust that our nakedness is all we need become and our stripping of the layers the most loving thing to be done. Free.

I've found in life how easy it is to feel victim of our reality. Overworked, unheard, broke, tired, disconnected, unfulfilled, not yet enough. The world becoming a space to highlight our lack rather than our opportunity.

This reality is easy because it is encouraged. Our systems and conditioning benefit from our lack. The world outside of you that you aspire to obtain perpetuates a cycle that distances you from truth, it distances you from your innate value.

You are not victim because you have a choice in every thought and action on whether you play your part. You have a choice between aligning with love or fear.

My freedom that is now is seeing my choice between the two. I do not live in a different world, I live in a different belief system, one that empowers truth and disempowers a "lie". There is power there because there is love. And it is the ability to see where love is lacking that we find it.

Hello my loves.

It's been a little minute, ey!?

I haven't forgotten about you, or the power of truth. Life happened and the thought of posting on here felt more like a pressure than a priority. I'm working on a few things, very much daring related but much more aligned with where I'm at right now.

I'll be back, when the timings right, to share them. Till then, keep daring to be you.

Living life by your own rules is not a rebellious act. It is a rightful choice.

A choice to stand in the truth of who you are.

A choice to say I cannot limit myself to who society says I can be.

For I am valued. I am whole. I am loved.

I have a few new faces here so I figured I'd say hi to those I haven't met yet...

My name's Lola and I write my own rules in life.

My rules, of course, have limitations, I'm no rebel without a cause, I don't run around the streets with a trail of ''f**k you's'' behind me, my actions and choices in life are led by my truth... the fire in my heart, the song in my soul, whatever you want to call it, it's mine and I live by it.

To be daring is to break free from the rules you've learnt around who you should be, the one's written by society, the one's that cast you in shame and have you stood, motionless in limiting beliefs.

I broke free from these rules. I broke free because I had to. Because forcing myself to live in a world I didn't fit left me feeling empty, misaligned and undervalued by the one person who matters to me most, me.

I created ONLY THE DARING to be a place that allows you to step in to your authentic power. This isn't a ''how to'' on life, it's a ''WHO ARE YOU!?'', a ''STOP GIVING POWER TO SOCIETY, SHAME AND LIMITING BELIEFS'' and bring awareness to the life you are choosing to live.

Truth isn't an easy option, hence why we rarely choose it, but it is the only option in creating a life that has meaning and magic. A life where you can stand empowered, valued and whole and say ''THIS IS ME, THIS IS MY LIFE AND THESE ARE MY RULES.''

My hope is that by sharing my lessons and my truth, you will be able to start recognising your own and with that knowledge, build the confidence to become your most daring self.

I've been thinking a lot this week about the bare minimum and how and where we accept it.

I've settled for the bare minimum many a time in my life and a huge part of my journey has been about overcoming my beliefs on who I get to be.

When I was younger, the bare minimum was something I accepted, afraid to ask for more, unsure of how to be more.

The bare minimum was enough in the;
- Connections I shared
- The words I spoke
- The words I heard
- Financially
- Sexually
- The prospects for my future
- The love I had for myself

The bare minimum was enough because at some point down the line I'd learnt that the existence I deserved had limits.

Today the bare minimum still creeps in, only she's different, she's sneaky cause she knows I've grown wise to her ways.

She's here today in the space I believe I can take up, afraid to hold the light incase it's too bright for someone else's liking.

She stands there beside me as I puff on a drunken cigarette and she comforts me, telling me a smoke is ok with a drink.

She's there in the moments I give out my energy to those who have no intention of giving there's in return.

And, you know what, its ok, cause I see her. And when we can see the truth of what is holding us back we can write a new rule on how we allow it do so in the future...

And that's where I'm at. Welcoming the bare minimum, as long as she knows who she's dealing with.

For this is my life and I write the rules.

WHERE DO YOU FEEL UNABLE TO JUST BE YOU AND THAT BE ENOUGH?

We learn many things about ourselves as we grow, we learn which words get the best response, we learn what actions get the most recognition and we learn which version of ourselves is accepted by those around us.

What we don't learn, and I think its a chuffing travesty, is that there is no one way to be and that it is only by embracing that and presenting an authentic version of ourselves to the world that we can create a life that means something because it is the perfect extension of who we are.

When we can give ourselves permission to simply be ourselves, we are seen for our truth and not a lie and that my friend, is the most empowering light to stand in.

rewrite the rules

The way I see it, we have two choices in life.

1. Embrace the crap out of who we are

OR

2. Allow the world to tell us who we get to be.

Whose rules do you choose?

MY RULES ON CHANGING JOBS...

I've handed my notice in a grand total of 19 times in my life.

Over the last 10 years alone I’ve served royalty, Lords and Ladies, CEO’s and celebs on private yachts. I’ve organised events in the USA and Japan, managed a live music venue in London and assistant managed a bar in Spain. I’ve done special effects makeup for the cast of the Lion King on broadway, I started a microcement business, had a few shoddy attempts in sales and worked as a PA for an entrepreneur and again for my Dad and brother’s business in Spain. And that’s not even half of it.

Now, I’d like you to imagine for a second what that looks like on a CV… got it? Bit of a mess, right!? Yeh, I thought so too, and then I chose to see it differently.

My career is a reflection of me exploring different parts of who I am. Had I stayed in a job that didn’t set my world alight, I wouldn’t be where I am today, aligned with passion, purpose and a message to share that comes from my soul.

That mindset has enabled me to get jobs I lacked qualifications or experience for. That mindset has meant I have never had to justify my movements to anyone but myself.

Your career path doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but it is vital that it makes sense to you.

When you’re sitting in your rocking chair, many years from now, you won’t give a toss what your CV said but you’ll remember what your heart said and how you chose to ignore it.

Dare to write your own rules in the career path you create, so that you too can find yourself in a place that represents exactly who you are.

It's natural to consider what other's see in us and our life choices, it's damaging however to value their opinion of us above our own.

There will always be someone who has something to say, the great news is, their opinion has absolutely NOTHING to do with you.
